“What is still missing [from most
therapeutic approaches] is the awareness that the body is also emotion.
The myofascial continuum is able to stimulate the areas of the brain
that deal with the emotional state, and manual treatment activates the
interoceptive system.”

One food that is extremely beneficial to your health but is often forgotten is the chia seed. By adding chia seeds into your diet, you are introducing your body to food full of nutrients that can also prevent diseases, obesity, and bowel obstruction. Additionally, chia seeds may be able to aid with weight loss, depression, and beauty routines.

Low in calorie, one small serving of chia seeds can greatly enhance many different types of foods. They can turn food that lacks many nutrients into a healthy option, plus they are easy to add to any diet and taste delicious with all the different food groups.

“We need not jump straight to the side-effect-ridden drugs from the pharmaceutical companies which often times cause the same problems they treat. Instead, we can turn to mother earth and try natural items such as frankincense and add other tools such as yoga, meditation, and proper nutrition into our lives to help us return to a balanced state of health.

Our sense of smell is strongly linked to the limbic system in the brain which is where we regulate motivation and emotion. Anxiety and depression affect almost 60 million people in the US. If used in moderation inhaling diffused incense is a moderate to low-risk and may be well worth it to those who suffer from their stressful conditions.”

Not too long ago, medicine looked a lot different. Our ancestors had to rely on the land to provide antibiotics and natural cures, yet today we can walk into a doctor’s office and walk out with a prescription. While we can thank modern medicine for rapidly increasing the human lifespan (no small feat!), there is still a place for natural cures.
